While absorbing the ocean of vital energy, Fang Yun comprehended the trajectory of the holy path at the core of the ancient world.
As soon as he arrived here, Fang Yun discovered something different, and even felt that the holy path here was one of the greatest treasures.
The holy path here is not as mature as that in the outside world. After continuous changes, it is difficult to find its origin and it is too difficult to comprehend.
At the same time, this place is not like the previous place where one was promoted to a Great Saint. The way of Sainthood is hidden, and there is almost no power revealed for people to comprehend.
The holy way here is in a peculiar state.
It was as if it had just experienced the creation of the world and was not affected by the power of time. At the same time, it was not particularly strong and was easy to be perceived.
In Fang Yun's holy vision, densely packed pale white tracks appeared before his eyes, as if countless invisible planets were running. The "planets" were invisible, but their power overflowed and could be sensed by the outside world.
In Fang Yun's mind, it seemed as if there was an invisible fine pen slowly outlining the trajectories of the holy path.
There are many kinds of holy paths, and they undergo different changes, so the trajectory is changing all the time.
Below the level of semi-saint, one can at most only touch the Holy Way, but above the level of semi-saint, one can already draw power from the Holy Way.
At the peak of sub-sainthood, one can control the holy way.
But the prerequisite is to thoroughly understand the holy way.
The so-called great saint's combat skills or war poems are themselves the forced control of the holy way, but perfect control cannot be achieved.
Only by thoroughly mastering a certain holy path can one be promoted to the peak of the Great Sage.
In the battles between the great saints, victory or defeat is determined by two methods.
One is to ignore the understanding of the Holy Way and have absolute strength far exceeding that of the opponent. For example, one party does not know the Great Saint's combat skills, while the other party's Great Saint's combat skills are extremely powerful and can be used many times. The latter will win no matter what.
Fang Yun had defeated other great saints before because of his absolutely powerful strength, but when facing a peak semi-saint, Fang Yun did not have such absolute power and it was difficult for him to kill a peak great saint.
The other is to rely on the level of the Saintly Path. Among the Great Saints, as long as the Saintly Path level of one party is slightly higher than that of the other, then as long as the power gap is not particularly large, it is possible to win.
Ling Huan is a great sage at the pinnacle. Fang Yun’s power is not enough to kill him, he can only repel him at best.
However, Fang Yun's understanding of the holy way related to holy thoughts far surpassed Ling Huan. Ling Huan was killed because he underestimated his enemy and realized his mistake too late.
If Fang Yun encounters a peak Great Sage of the Giant God Clan who is protected by ancestral treasures, he can only fight a war of attrition, because Fang Yun is only at a high level of holy thoughts and holy ways, and his basic holy ways are still inferior to those of the peak Great Sage, and his power is not truly overwhelming.
Fang Yun immersed himself in the ocean of vital energy, constantly comprehending the holy way of all realms.
This was also Fang Yun’s first formal practice after being promoted to a Great Sage. He even stopped his literary world to absorb the vital energy from the sea water and began to explore carefully before adapting to the Great Sage’s practice method.
When he was half-saint, Fang Yun comprehended the holy way and was more like a "spectator", observing the holy way.
After the Great Sage, those who have not inherited the holy teachings correctly will just imitate others and continue to act as spectators to learn the holy teachings by watching them.
However, Fang Yun has too many correct inheritances. Whether it is the human race, ancient monsters, dragon race, imperial race or various stone carvings, there are correct methods.
For example, the great sage cultivation method of Confucius is derived from "ritual and music", called "plucking the strings". Treat the trajectories of the Holy Path as strings of a musical instrument to stimulate the changes of the Holy Path in sequence. You can observe more of the Holy Path and experience the power of the Holy Path at the moment of "plucking".
The art of string-playing is particularly suited to Confucius' personality. It is effective and stable, and causes minimal damage to oneself.
The great sage cultivation method of King Wen of Zhou originated from Yin and Yang and was called "Yin Dao".
King Wen of Zhou was good at bringing two different trajectories of the Holy Path together to form an interweaving of the Holy Path, like the harmony of yin and yang, and experiencing power in the aftermath of the interweaving of the Holy Path.
The other human sub-saints each have their own methods, and Fang Yun has already counted them all in the Holy Academy.
The human race's sub-saint cultivation method is the most sophisticated, but too conservative.
The Emperor Clan is at the other extreme. Their cultivation is so rough that even Fang Yun doesn't dare to try it. They directly transform themselves into the Holy Path and crash into the Holy Path's trajectory, like a star crashing around in the starry sky, hence the name 'Chongxing'.
The advantage of doing this is that it is direct and can experience the strongest power and nature of the Holy Way. However, it is only suitable for the Imperial Clan and the Taichu Clan, because they have the power of Taichu to help them. In particular, every member of the Imperial Clan has a Taichu Stone House, so they are not afraid of accidents.
The law of cultivation of the great saints of the Dragon Clan is between that of the Human Clan and the Imperial Clan, and is called "Flipping Waves". The Dragon Clan is neither too conservative to try little by little, nor dare to rush forward like the Imperial Clan. They are good at causing large-scale collisions of the Holy Path, and then wandering in various aftermaths, experiencing the massive power of the Holy Path and winning by quantity.
Different ancient monster tribes have many ways of cultivation. For example, Fang Yun is completely unable to cultivate Fu Yue’s “Ru Shan”.
The way of cultivation of the Great Sage Fu Yue is to fake his death and then place himself in the holy way. This method of perception is too time-consuming, but the perception is clear.
Fang Yun knew that he had no experience and could not create a new method of cultivation. However, he also could not blindly accept all the methods of cultivation. So, Fang Yun began to test and learn all the methods of cultivation of the great saints!
Fang Yun insisted on using a great sage cultivation method every day, and then carefully recorded the increase and decrease in the cultivation effect, recorded the damage to the holy thoughts, the damage to the holy body, recorded the effect on the overall holy path, recorded the effect on a single holy path, recorded the different phenomena caused by different holy paths, and so on.
Because the holy way is infinitely mysterious and ever-changing, Fang Yun recorded a huge amount of changes and data.
These records are just the basis, analysis is the highlight.
After practicing all the great sage cultivation techniques, Fang Yun began a lengthy analysis, using various methods to analyze the part of each cultivation method that was suitable for him.
After the analysis, Fang Yun began to practice, constantly testing specific methods of cultivation based on the analysis results.
After a long period of practice, Fang Yun accumulated a lot of experience, then stopped practicing, fully activated the holy thoughts, reflected on those experiences, and then summarized and extracted them, and came up with a better practice method, and then continued to test...
Fang Yun's cultivation soon entered a virtuous circle. After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yun suddenly opened his eyes. The power around him surged, his holy energy vibrated, and the vast sea was boiling.
Billions of pale white holy paths appeared in Fang Yun’s eyes, and then slowly dissipated.
After a long period of practice, based on the foundation of his predecessors, Fang Yun finally created a sub-sage practice method that best suits him. Although it is not perfect, it can be continuously improved and enhanced.
This training method, called Star Navigation, was inspired by the Ancient Ship of All Worlds and the Star Shepherd.
At the beginning, Fang Yun used his own power to push many holy paths and sailed in them. He forcibly changed the power of the holy paths, and while changing the holy paths, he made them move in the same direction. In this way, Fang Yun could avoid being overly impacted by the holy paths, but at the same time, because the holy paths were being changed and constantly changing, practitioners could perceive the holy paths more clearly.
The method of star navigation is far more radical and more dangerous than the human race's cultivation method, but it is much safer than the imperial race's and is no less efficient.
